Getting Started
For your farmhouse-style kitchen, there are a number of details to consider to ensure your redesign goes right. Before you start, consider which windows you want to cover, which functionalities of the windows are important for you, and how focal you want your windows to be to your farmhouse-style kitchen. It’s important to note that well-planned window treatments can be the perfect finishing touch to any farmhouse kitchen, which is why we have compiled a number of farmhouse kitchen window treatment ideas to inspire you today!
A great starting point is to research the various farmhouse kitchen window treatments that are currently available. Blinds, shades, and curtains are a few common window treatments, so the first step is to decide which one is best for your space and its needs. Next, you will need to choose the right colors, fabrics, and patterns that mesh well with the rest of your farmhouse kitchen. You may prefer a soft and understated look or something heavy and bold that helps to make a statement. Farmhouse kitchen window treatments have the potential to offer warmth and an unmatched earthy feel to your space. For that reason, here are some ideas to help you choose the farmhouse kitchen window treatments that are right for you:
It’s All About the Textures
Something to consider when choosing your farmhouse kitchen window treatments is the use of different textures. Oftentimes, in the farmhouse style, several textures are combined and incorporated to bring a space to life. Simply put, don’t be afraid to mix and match! Some popular textures found in farmhouse kitchen window treatments are wood, metal, cozy textiles, and more. Here are some of our favorites:
1. Wooden Farmhouse Kitchen Window Treatments
Incorporate an extra touch of wood with wooden window treatments. Whether it’s wooden patterned shades or softly colored Insulating blinds, as seen here, you can never go wrong with the addition of wood textures in a farmhouse kitchen.
2. Burlap Window Treatments
Almost nothing says farmhouse like burlap. Bring in this unique texture to your kitchen windows for an unforgettable farmhouse flare. The added pro? Burlap’s neutral color and appearance allows for easy compatibility with other decor in your house, making pairing with existing furniture effortless. So, for ultimate versatility with a vintage look, consider burlap.
3. Simply Sheer Shadings
Keep the room bright and light with sheer shadings. This simple, sophisticated texture allows other elements in the room to shine while still supporting your desired farmhouse look. While we do recommend to go for a more neutral color (gray, brown, beige, etc.), feel free to choose something that best suits you and your home’s personality. Not only do Color Lux sheer shadings complement your home both beautifully and minimalistically, they also provide a ton of functionality, including superior light control and privacy protection.
With Color Lux, you have the opportunity to add some texture with a variety of customizable shades. If you have larger windows in your kitchen, incorporate different textures in your curtain or drape style. It doesn’t matter which style you choose; there is always a way to mix and match texture to bring your farmhouse style to the forefront.
Add A Pop of Color
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not make it bright and cheerful? A pop of color is another perfect way to spruce up your kitchen and bring the farmhouse style to life. And, of course, the perfect place to incorporate this pop of color is your farmhouse kitchen window treatments. Choose the color that speaks to you most, and incorporate it into your window treatments. Then, sprinkle in pops of the same color throughout the room to tie the space together. Here are some ideas to get you started:
4. Go Green With Your Window Treatments
Incorporating plants throughout your kitchen is a perfect way to bring in the farmhouse style. Further this style by matching the green in your plants to a subtle green window treatment, like the one seen here.
5. Rustic Pops of Color
As we said, a pop of color in the kitchen is always on the menu. Maybe it is a color to match your surrounding decor or a pop of red to match the rustic undertones of a farmhouse style. Either way, you can’t go wrong with color in the kitchen.
6. Contrast is Key
While a pop of color can go a long way in your farmhouse kitchen window treatments, there are other ways to go too. Oftentimes, farmhouse-style kitchens are filled with bright, white colors throughout. At the same time, contrast is key when it comes to the farmhouse style. Why not bring the contrast in through your windows? Opt for a darker window treatment to contrast the surrounding bright vibrancy of your farmhouse kitchen, like the treatments seen below.
When deciding on your window treatment, consider Roller Shades and Roman Shades, as they are a perfect option for farmhouse kitchen window treatments because they come in a variety of colors and patterns, so you can choose how you liven up your space with color directly.
Set the Scene
What better way to bring in a farmhouse style than to set the scene with a pattern or print that brings your design inspiration to the forefront? This is a great way to capture attention and draw the eye to your farmhouse kitchen window treatments that scream “farm-life.”
7. Florals, Plant- Patterns, and More
Nothing says farmhouse like plants, flowers, and all things nature-focused. Bring your farmhouse kitchen to life with window treatments that incorporate those elements directly! Choose yellow as a pop of color with a lemon-patterned treatment. Keep it simple and classy with some soft green plant patterns. Or, incorporate florals and plant patterns simultaneously with your favorite patterns, like the kitchen valance pictured below.
8. Printed Sack Inspiration
One specific idea for farmhouse kitchen window treatments is to incorporate printed sacks. Printed sacks are often used throughout the farmhouse style, so why not bring them directly to your windows? This goes hand-in-hand with the burlap texture noted beforehand. It’s a surefire way to bring farmhouse inspiration into your home.
9. Custom Graphics for Optimum Personalization

Additional Helpful Hints To Consider:
10. Size and Shape
Plan ahead of time which windows you want to cover. You will want to know how many window treatments you need and what size each of them is. Do you have any oddly-shaped windows? Are any of the windows in your space tall or hard to reach? Fortunately, it is easy to find what you need with Color Lux, but it is helpful to know these factors in advance.
11. Functionality
